bipartisan election board had voted. it's time to move on. >> hart agreed, calling the outcome of the race the stain on democracy. she added that the truth is not prevailed. hart says there was a toxic campaign of political disinformation. iowa election officials certified miller-meeks is the winner by six votes. the closest house race in a century. democrats contend that election officials never counted 22 ballots. >> it's about following the democratic process and making sure that all iowans have their voice heard in their voices their vote. >> democrats are making a big push for congress to pass voting rights bills. democrats hope to use a disputed race like this to make a point. the house is still probing another race. republican jim ober weiss lost to illinois democrat laura underwood. mccarthy doesn't back the challenge. >> bret: just to be clear, while the democrat pulled out,

stop going forward, speaker pelosi was ready to move forward, right? >> she said she could see a scenario and i asked if they would remove miller-meeks and seat rita hart but it takes it two-thirds vote to kick something out of the house and that's only happened five times. several of those expulsions were during the civil war. >> bret: chad pergram, the man with all the facts on capitol hill. thanks. republican encouragement from florida matt gaetz sexual misconduct allegations says part of an elaborate extortion plot and are not true. the justice department is investigating whether gaetz had a relationship with a 17-year-old female. gaetz says that they were targeted via official. he has called on the doj to release details and tapes of that investigation. no comment from justice on any of it yet. the pentagon is announcing new rules for transgender people in the military. the regulations allow those who

chief said it needed more study. new calls for a fresh investigation into china's role in the pandemic, some states doomed as long as beijing is in charge. >> they're not cooperating with the investigation. speak without cooperation we will never be able to nail down the origins. >> former cdc chief robert ridge back to the lab leak idea. he is an advisor to maryland governor hogan. some officials are demanding a dismissal calling the idea antiaging. the theory could becoming more mainstream. greg palkot in london, thanks. some of the other stories beyond our borders. at present russian opposition leader alexei navalny has started a hunger strike to protest failure to provide proper treatment for his back and leg pain. he says officials refused to give them the right medicine and to allow his doctor to visit him. he was arrested in january upon his return from germany where he was recovering from a poisoning attack he blames on the kremlin.

this is not about penalizing anyone. i have nothing against millionaires and billionaires. i believe in american capitalism. we're going to raise the corporate tax up to 20%. china and other countries are eating our lunch. no reason why can't be bipartisan. >> bret: president biden laying out the first part of the plan, likely to come in two tranches for infrastructure and other spending. howard breaks down at least a little bit. 115 billion to modernize roads and bridges. modernize lead pipes. affordable sustainable homes, raise the corporate tax of 20% from 21 and raised a global minimum tax 21% from 13. republicans gluing senator mcconnell have questions about the total number. >> i am concerned about the

level of our national debt. we have reached the critical point. i hope were not beginning to engage in the habit of any time i want to do something to college and national emergency and run up the national debt. over $27 trillion, the same size as the economy. >> bret: democrats say republicans are just finding this concern about the debt and deficit. let's bring in the panel. morgan ortagus, former state department spokesperson. trey gowdy, former congressman from south carolina. trey, your thoughts on the president's layout of the plan. >> he said he hopes it's bipartisan. when congressman ford was in the house and when i was there, transportation bills were bipartisan but i have never heard phrases like human infrastructure or social infrastructure. it was roads and bridges and ports and airports and pipes.

i have no idea what social infrastructure means. as for senator mcconnell i like him a lot but republicans didn't say a word about debt and deficits the last four years that i can recall and raising taxes on other people is always politically popular. if this were just about infrastructure i think it would get done but it's about a lot more than that. >> bret: we raise that issue about deficit and debt and how republicans haven't talked about it because for the last four years if you look at the national debt clock it keeps on ticking every day over 28 trillion right now the total number here and that eventually is unsustainable. here is former vice president in the vice presidential debate in 2008. >> talk about the maverick john mccain. he has been a maverick on issues but not on the things that matter in people's lives. he voted for george bush's

budget would put us half a trillion dollars in debt and over 3 trillion in debt since he got there. >> bret: $3 trillion in debt sound so quaint when you look at that. do you think there's going to be more concerned about it? >> thanks for having me on. a couple things, i think the way joe biden framed the debate, to answer your question. it's a competition between us and china and other countries but largely china and how do we invest in those things that will enable us to not only stay ahead but keep america ahead and be the envy of the world. investment in new battery technology, investments and climate technologies, clean climate technologies, finding ways to invest in people, the pandemic demonstrated or uncovered some of the massive shortcomings, incredible shortcomings that exist in education and health care and broadband. i think this president, i gave him great credit.

everyone's not going to get all they want. liberals and progressive are asking for 10 trillion. some republicans are weakening, working in congress years ago like trey gowdy, concerned about the deficit. some are raising that concern. it's a little late but i'll give them credit. at least they are weakening to it. joe biden said he wants to do something very different. he wants to be bold, he wants to push the country ahead and ensure that we stay ahead of china and other photos. i thought the best part of the speech was when he said i reward work is much as wealth. wealth in this country should be rewarded, it should be congratulated. work should be as well. what he did today was to push down that road. >> bret: when you get into the weeds, morgan, the corporate tax increase affects a lot more than just corporations. obviously you're also competing on the world stage and china would have less as far as i corporate tax than other

countries. we would be higher than they are. the other thing is the personal tax increase. some small businesses put their companies through an individual tax and they are an escort. you're touching a lot of different people, not just corporations and rich people. >> you bring up great points and it's not just the tax increases and the bill. you can look at things like the provisions that would get rid of the gig economy as we know it so if your millennial or gen xer and you like it will breeds, that could be at risk in this bill. the bottom line is not a serious interest in travail. the green new deal and tons of new spending. as senator mcconnell and others have pointed out, less than a quarter of the bill has to do with infrastructure spending. when i look at the bottom line, if it's not a serious infrastructure bill, what's the goal and the goal has to be i

assume to call it an infant structure bill, beat up the republicans and perhaps use it as a way to get rid of the filibuster or use reconciliation to pass very unpopular items like the green new deal and other liberal spending measures. whenever were talking about tonight on your show, one thing we are not talking about is the serious infrastructure bill. >> bret: trey, he is going been clearly these early moves policy wise. if i was to ask you what is president biden doing right, would you say? >> i actually think he's really good on messaging. i watched the press conference. he is an affable guy, a pretty good salesman. unfortunately when you turn the product owner doesn't always work so you may like the salesman but if your vacuum cleaner doesn't work, you're probably going to look elsewhere. i give him credit that he actually is a likable person. >> bret: all right. we will leave that they are paid

>> all hypotheses are on the

table and warrant complete and further studies. >> no difference between the information we have on the information held by experts. >> go to dr. ted rose and say we are not giving you any more money until you demand that china allow in an independent group of researchers to have unfettered discretion to find out whether the virus leaked from a wild and to find out its origin. otherwise we're never going to get to the bottom of this. >> bret: the world health organization is questioning china about the lack of data provided about the origins of the virus. w.h.o. is doing that. 14 countries are saying they need more information. this is something that we reported on more than a year ago. at the beginning senator tom cotton and others work called conspiracy theorists and essentially wackos for this theory. take a listen. >> the simplest explanation is

that this was an accidental leak from the labs. laboratory leaks happen. pretty hope they don't but they happen. they even happen in the united states but they especially have a history of happening in china. u.s. diplomats or in the lab and raised grave alarms about the safety practices. one thing we stopped doing is funding chinese laboratories. >> bret: back with the panel. morgan, you were in the trump administration. early on there is not definitive proof but there were a lot of dots that pointed to the lab. intelligence officials and state department officials were talking about it. and it was discounted. >> mike pompeo and i have been talking about this for over a year. secretary pompeo started bringing this up back in february 2020 at the munich security conference. we immediately started calling on transparency from china and to allow independent investigators.

the whole purpose of that was because we knew if we never found the origin of the pandemic come of the virus that it would prevent us from being able to stop future pandemics. that's the bottom-line goal of all this. this w.h.o. investigation is a total sham, total joke. it has been so from the beginning. you would get more transparency out of a visit to a north korean prison camp then you were going to get out of this team. tedros, the conditions he accepted to begin with that the investigation have to be a failure. half the scientists on the investigative team had to be a chinese. they had to approve the investigators and approve the final report. secretary of lincoln has said that the chinese were involved in writing the final report. no one should take this seriously and tedros should never have approved this sham investigation. to be on the w.h.o. is saying that we need more data.

some of the media and some pointing to the former cdc director redfield who said he believes it is the wuhan lab theory saying, just saying that is antiaging an end somehow racist. >> i don't accept it. i rejected. i think morgan is largely right and i have great friends in the media who said early on the same theory that director redfield laid out. i think we should accept the fact that this came from china. until it's proven otherwise. the w.h.o. and others, other countries, other allies. the transparency reveal it or it won't but we should accept that it did. it leads back to the conversation about how do we ensure that we are not dependent on supply chains. how do we ensure that we are not dependent for our health care and prescription drug supply chain in china. these are the kinds of moves i

would hope this president and congress, and i've been reassured that this is how their thinking, the direction that they choose to lead us in. the blame game in america, democrats, republicans, former administrations and current administrations. how do we assure that if this happens again. in my mind the blame rests with china. i'm not concerned about the kind of accusations people are making around those who would reach the conclusion that i have. >> bret: you have the cdc director come out and say the data from the cdc says vaccinated people do not carry the virus and don't get sick. doesn't that change how we think about this whole thing? if vaccinated people do not get sick they do not carry the virus? >> it does for me. i don't use the word miracle a

whole lot but it's miraculous that we are here in 12 months. i got my second chopped coming up in two weeks but i'll tell you, when i announced i was getting a shot, and got a lot of emails from people telling me i was crazy. i'd get four shot if i thought it would help. it's miraculous. there's another pandemic coming, to your other question about china. it's been 15 months. if the w.h.o. is frustrated with china you know that you're doing a sorry job. publicize the questions. what questions have you asked china that they haven't answered. that will get their attention. i would love to know what information we need to have they withheld and started doing it publicly. >> bret: it could be a lot. thank you. stand by. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines tonight. with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.
